Obituary Strong.

A tribute 10 TIE memory Of his granddaughter, bg
Rec II. ". Strong, Of Lancaster.
Miss Grace Strong, author of an earn
est temperance work, "The Worst Foe, "
departed this life in Atlanta, Ga, on
Sunday, May 10, 1887, aged 80 years
Her brother, James Ii. Strong, in At
water, Mimi, received dispatch an
nouncing her death. He started in the
first train and met his mother with the
body in Cincinnati. On Thursday they
arrived in Atwater. The funeral SER
vices were to be held at Burbank near
the home of her grandfather Andrews,
conducted by the Methodist minister.
Deceased had spent the winter with her
mother in Florida. Her book has already
had good circulation. Her publisher
informed me last winter that it had
reached the fifth edition. A few books
were sold in Lancaster, and in some
places is has done much good She
did not live in vain
early, bright, transient, chaste as morning dew,
She sparkled, was exhaled, andwent to heaven. .
Farewell, beloved Grace, a short farewell!
Many, yes many are the tears that flow
From weeping eyes in me 7ory of thee
Attractions OF the busy rid grow less,
Attractions on the other lie Increase.
THE disenchanted world is losing brightness,
But faith beholds word Of heavenly beauty.
o, shall we meet there al he Savioro feet?
Yes; angel voices whisper to our souls,
And Heaven itself seems nearer than before.
And our hearts pray for more of holy heaven,
And more devotion in the path of duty,
Until we also rise to Heaven, our home,
To be forever with our Lord and Savior.

tempt was made on his life by an in
furiated mob, and several shots were
fired. O'Brien himself escaped injury
although one shot whizzed past his head
at narrow distance, but one of his
friends, John Nelson, was shot I'M the
wrist. quite seriously. 0Bnsa faces
the danger bravely saying thatwHild he
may be assassinated he win not be ia

Swiftly on, in sun and shadow,
Another year has passed away,
Bringing in with flowers and fragrance
The morn of our Memorial Day.
This day, each heart pays grateful tribute
To that devotion pure and high.
Which nerved our soldiers hearts in danger
And Taught each hero how to die.
Here we wreath with patriot colors,
With flowers of red and white and blue
The shafts, where In enduring marble,
We read their names so brave and true
Red, shall show the blood shed for us,
White, souls loyal evermore,
Blue. the worn and tattered remnants
OF the uniforms they wore.
Sweet as fragrance of these flowers,
Are the memories OF the past.
To the hearts OF those whose loved ones
Bore the conflict to the last
After many toilsome marches
In their silent camps they sleep.
But the memory of their valor,
Ever fresh and green we keep.
Years have passed and little children
Scatter flowers here and sing,
OF the deeds far more immortal
Than the glory Of a King,
Deeds whose fame shall go before us
Like the shining OF a star
Calling US to follow duty.
Reckoning ever from aiar.
